La Guitarra- Collage

Today the students learned a whole bunch of terms, collage, cubism, sculpture, ceramics. They also Learned that Pablo Picasso was born in Spain, lived until the age of 92, and most of his years were spent in France. They started making their background for the project by creating a collage with printed, plain construction, or newspaper. They used glue sticks, scissors, and those fancy scissors. Once they had completed the background they made a guitar shape either on their own or I offered a template they could trace and cut out. Markers were also offered to make details and finishing touches. I learned that this group of kids thought his human figures were creepy. They were able to get beyond that and really liked all the shapes and angles they saw in the cubist work.
